Pure love
takes off sky high.
Twisted at the roots,
it unravels.
Blind hatred
crawling deeper,
deeper under your skin.
You smile,
playing it cool,
but you know
you are slowly
going crazy.
You become nervous,
breaking out in a sweat,
yet you continue to smile.
Fidgeting with a pencil,
it slips out of your moist hands.
Becoming still more nervous,
you tap your fingers
in a steady rhythm.
You avert your eyes
to the watch on your hand.
When will it end?!?
You stare ahead
barely breathing, still smiling.
Doom edges closer
and… closer.
Then you can no longer stand it.
Your mouth opens
to let out a blood-curdling scream
and everything becomes silent.
Everyone turns to stare
at you.
You turn white
with fear.
You begin to panic and run.
Everyone erupts into laughter
and grows bigger and louder.
You run faster.
Eyes everywhere
following, watching you.
They gain on you…
surrounding you,
blinding you with the terrifying
spotlight of reality
just as you shy away
into the darkness.
Lost, hopeless,
dazed and confused.
You curl up in a corner
amongst the shadows,
shivering with fear.
No longer breathing,
your heart stops,
and you…
cease to be…
tales of mystery, horror and suspense
